Emma McCune's passion for Africa, her unstinting commitment to the children of the Sudan, and her striking beauty and glamour set her apart from other aid workers from the moment she arrived in southern Sudan. But no one was prepared for her decision to marry a local warlord - a man who seemed to embody everything she was working against - and to throw herself into his violent quest to take over southern Sudan's rebel movement. Deborah Scroggins - who met McCune in the Sudan - charts the process by which McCune's romantic delusions led to her descent into the hell of Africa's longest running civil war.
